Hatton stops Olivera round 10

[elveiel]

Hatton stopped Olivera in round 10, The fight was one sided all they and wasnt something i like to see, there comes a point when the corner should protect there man from a beating. Olivera wasnt punching back from about the half way point and complained of an ear injury.

Hatton was awesome. Mad props to Olivera though. He took some wicked shots round after round and barely flinched. Other than Wayne McCullough, I haven't seen anyone take such a variation of shots and stand for that long. Hatton proved without a shadow of a doubt that he is world class tonight.

Didn't see the fight. Was Olivera a target standing in front of Hatton, or did he spend a lot of time with back on the ropes?

Wouldn't say either to be honest. He tried moving and ducking. Held when he had to and got a few shots of his own off. Hatton just jumped on him from the opening bell and never let off.

geez, I hope Hatton can score a big fight now, he needs to get some action here in the states.

I get pissed off with Hatton opponents, a lot of them come to fight, get knocked down in the first round and come out for the second to survive!! They talk big but fight scared, thats why i hope Hatton fights a world class guy with confidence next.

Its rare Hatton fights a guy who cant take a punch, if you look at his record a lot of opponent have never been stopped, the last guy i remember fighting Hatton without a good chin was Smith! And he got a beating!!

As for Olivera, his corner should have thrown the towel in around the 6th round, watching some of the replays his head was taking some serious punishment!! Hatton seems like a nice guy and i doubt he would want to badly hurt/kill someone.

I don't think many boxers with half a brain would want to inflict death or serious injury on an opponent.

Yeah, thats why corner men and refs should be careful. If i was the ref i would have spoken to the corner, told them he need to fight back or he's out of there.

If a guys taking a beating, isnt punching back and is behind on the score card its time to throw the towel in.
